GARMENT-SUSPENSION FITTING FOR CLOTHING CABINETS.

Application filed MayS, 1926, Serial No. 106,583, and. in Great BritainJune 12, 1925.

This invention relates to fittings for clothing cabinets for holdinggarments and the like of the kind provided with rods on which trousersor other garments are suspended, said rods being carried by a frameslidabiy mounted in the cabinet.

According to this invention the suspension rods are caused to openlaterally or sideways as and when the sliding frame is drawn towards thefront of the cabinet.

To carry out this invention a fixed lid or cover in the cabinet isprovided on its underside with a series of grooves running from back tofront of the. cabinet in such a manner that they converge towards thefront. The garment suspension rods are pivotally mounted in a slidingframe and their inner ends are provided with pins which engage in thegrooves in the fixed lid or cover in the cabinet.

As the sliding frame is drawn towards the front of the cabinet the rodswill, by means of the pins and grooves, be turned on their v pivots andtheir outer ends spread or opened out.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is an under plan view, partly brokenaway, of my invention- Fig. 2 is a plan view of the sliding frame.

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the device parts being shown in sectionfor the sake of clearness.

In these drawings, A is the fixed lid or cover in the cabinet on theunderside of which are formed said grooves B, the front ends of saidgrooves being inwardly inclined shown at B. C are the suspension rodspivoted at C on a cross-piece or sliding frame D which is adapted to bemoved backwards and forwards in fixed side pieces D on the cabinet. Eachrod C is provided at its rear end with a pin C which engages in one ofthe grooves B in the fixed lid or cover A. The cross-piece or slidingframe D is provided with a fixed rod E by which it is moved backwards orforwards.

As the frame D and rods O are moved forward the pins C will, by theconverging B of the grooves B, cause the forward ends of the rods C todiverge, thereby spreading or opening out the garments. M

I claim:

1. A suspension fitting for a cabinet having a fixed lid or cover, saidfitting comprising a frame slidably mounted in the cabinet: rods mountedin said frame, and enclined grooves in the fixed lid or cover of thecabinet in which grooves the rods engage so as to be caused to divergeor open outwards when drawn towards the front of the cabinet.

2. A suspension fitting for a cabinet having a fixed lid or cover, saidfitting comprising a frame slidably mounted in the cabinet, rods mountedin said frame, pins on said rods, and enclined grooves in the fixed lidor cover of the cabinet in which grooves the pins on the rods engage soas to cause the rods to diverge or open outwards when drawn towards thefront of the cabinet.

3. A suspension fitting for a cabinet having a fixed lid or cover, saidfitting comprising a frame slidably mounted in the cabinet, rodspivotally mounted in said frame, pins on said rods, and inclined groovesin the fixed lid or cover of the cabinet in which grooves the pins onthe rods engage so as to cause the rods to'diverge or open outwards whendrawn towards the front of the cabinet.

A suspension fitting for a cabinet having a fixed lid or cover, saidfitting comprising a frame slidably mounted in the cabinet, rodspivotally mounted in said frame, pins on said rods, and inclined groovesin the fixed lid or cover of thecabinet converging towards the front ofthe cabinet in which grooves the pins on the rods engage so as to causethe rods to diverge or open outwards when drawn towards the front of thecabinet.

in testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of April,1926.
